The NBA just announced the 76ers win over the Celtics on Saturday was the most watched 1st-round game in over 25 years, and the most watched 1st-round Game 7 of all-time. Insane.
What makes it so special is that the city of Philadelphia watched Embiid grow up.
Yes, I know it’s only the first round. But we’ve watched a 20 year old grow up, become a Dad, battle through the most adversity we’ve seen from a single player in Philly in a really long time, and finally have his big moment.
One of the most special players in Philly history.
Dana Petruska won more than 500 games in girls hoops. As she goes into retirement, she sure had some interesting things to say about parents, players and even AAU ball.
“It’s this sense of entitlement from kids and parents."
